The 2009 Honda Civic Si has increased the overall width by 65mm, to 1,765mm, and the front and rear tracks to 1,504mm (up 34mm) and 1,510mm (up 45mm), respectively, to create a more dynamic silhouette and a better handling car. As a result, Honda was able to give the Civic Si a near-futuristic, high-tech and sporty cockpit with this Dual Link dashboard, with its distinct three-dimensional effect, was made possible due to the exterior’s wedge-shaped, cab-forward design. The 2009 Honda Civic Si hatch is powered by a SOHC 1.8 litre i-VTEC engine producing 103 kW on 91RON fuel that is married to a standard 6-speed manual gearbox or optional 5-speed automatic transmission.

It is no surprise that the sporty and easy to tune Honda Civic is now offered with a 1.8 liter VTEC engine.

Manufacturing

Ever since its birth in 1972, the Civic has undergone many evolutionary changes to maintain its position as the most successful car built by Honda, accounting for roughly one-third Honda sales worldwide. Today, the Civic is built in 13 countries and sold in 160 markets around the globe.

The new Civic Si is built at Honda’s UK manufacturing plant in Swindon.
